A cushioning conversion machine and method for converting sheet-like stock material into a cushioning product. The machine includes a forming assembly which inwardly crumples the lateral edges of the sheet-like stock material to form a dunnage strip, a stock supply assembly which supplies the stock material to the forming assembly, and a feed assembly which feeds the stock material to the forming assembly. The method includes the steps of withdrawing a section of stock material from a continuous web and forming the stock material into a dunnage strip. The cushioning conversion machine and method are characterized by an embossing device or step which embosses the stock material. |

本発明は、クッション材、即ち、ダンネージ材に加工するための機械及び方法に関する。 本発明による方法は、紙を供給源(13)から引出し、弓形に湾曲した成形用バー(32)の周りに紙を通して、紙に横方向の湾曲を付与する。 次いで、紙をクランプリングヘッド(16)内の送りベルトの対向面の間に通して、湾曲した紙をくしゃくしゃに加工し、それにより、クッション材を形成する。 その後、くしゃくしゃに加工した紙、即ち、クッション材をクランプリングヘッド(16)内のナイフブレードによって所望の長さに切断する。 送りベルト及びナイフブレードの動作は、フットスイッチ、論理回路、及びナイフブレードの位置を監視するリミットスイッチによって制御される。 |

In a machine for making packaging material, paper is pulled off a roll (12) by two pairs of spaced rubber nip rollers (20A), the lower ones of which rollers are driven. The edges (28) of the paper roll over as the paper passes through the former and the rolled paper is pushed into a pair of meshing gear wheels (24) in order to hold the rolled dunnage together loosely. A pair of blades (33A and 33B) cut the dunnage to the required length after it has passed through the gear wheels (24). |

A cushioning conversion machine for converting stock material into a continuous strip of a cushioning product. The machine includes a stock-preparing assembly which prepares the stock material; a stock-shaping assembly which shapes the prepared stock material into a continuous strip having a pillow-like portion and at least one tab portion projecting therefrom; and a tab-connecting assembly which connects the tab portion of the continuous strip whereby the pillow-like portion will maintain its pillow-like geometry. |

Machine and method for converting paper stock to cushioning material or dunnage in which paper is withdrawn from a supply (13), passed about an arcuately curved forming bar to impart a lateral curvature to the paper (Fig. 1), and then passed between confronting surfaces of feed belts (16) to crumple the curved paper and thereby form the cushioning material, after which the crumpled paper or cushioning material is cut to desired lengths with a knife blade. Operation of both the feed belts and the knife blade is controlled by a foot switch, logic circuitry, and a limit switch which monitors the position of the blade. |

A cushioning product including a pillow-like portion made from multiple plies of a sheet-like stock material. The cushioning product is characterized by the pillow-like portion including an inner stuffing and a shell which surrounds the inner stuffing. The multiple plies of the sheet-like stock material include at least one ply shaped to form the shell of the pillow-like portion and remaining plies crumpled to form the inner stuffing. The inner stuffing is formed only from the remaining plies of the sheet-like stock material. |

A cushioning conversion machine for converting a sheet-like stock material into a dunnage product. The machine includes a set of rotating members movable between a first position whereat they interact to deform the sheet-like stock material as it travels therethrough and a second position whereat they are separated a sufficient distance to permit easy threading of the stock material during loading of the machine. A mechanism is provided for selectively moving the rotating members between the first and second positions to permit easy threading of the stock material during loading of the machine. |
